Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are a wonderful group of high school kids from Central America and the Dominican Republic. 90% of students at my school are language learners; many have recently arrived in the US and are learning English as a new language, while others are learning Spanish, French, or Japanese as a second language. We are a dual language community that works for social justice and strives to exhibit pride, poise, and perseverance.

The ability to practice speaking and listening skills independently and outside of the classroom is a crucial part of language development and a big boost towards mastery of the four domains (listening, speaking, reading and writing).

These headphones are intended specifically for students to record themselves holding a conversation with each other in English or responding to a pre-recorded open ended prompt. This will allow me to effectively grade their proficiency level when they respond or engage in a real life talking situation. Having their voices recorded will also allow us to have a measure of their start, mid-year, and end of the year progress in speaking proficiency.

With headphones students are able to practice pronunciation that is tailored for them without disturbing their other classmates. Students will get a chance to interact with the target language at their own pace with the ease of headphones.

Please consider helping us become proficient in another language!
